The song first came into media view when the chorus of it was used on a YTMND page by the name of "Ualuealuealeuale" which was created sometime in late 2005. It contained a .gif of Batman played by Adam West being drugged on a scene of the 1966 series'sfirst episode. The page also gained popularity on YouTube with a reupload of it getting millions of views.

The song mainly gained popularity on the Internet because of its nonsensical lyrics and odd music video, in which the lyrics are almost entirely gibberish consisting of various onomatopoeic sounds, such as the "uale" noise, earning him the nickname of "The Mute" ("El Mudo" in Spanish), but due to a mispronunciation, he also earned the nickname of "El Mundo", and the song was subsequently used in numerous viral videos and YouTube Poops during the 2000s and onward. One particular video involved a loop of Nintendo character Mario headbanging from a Singapore Airlines advert.
